Good news, bad news

Good news: It's almost May!
Bad news: It's still snowing.

Bad news: Camden decided 5 or 6 am is his new wake-up time, not 8 am as previously.
Good news: He falls asleep reasonably well at nap time and bed time.

Good news: Camden is smart.
Bad news: He figured out how to unhook the long-handled spoon I put between two kitchen drawers to keep him out.

Bad news: Camden bangs his head and scrapes his knees a lot.
Good news: Camden is tough.

Good news: Brian's last class is tonight!
Bad news: Not a thing!

Bad news: I had to go to the dentist today. (Dental experiences seem to get worse as I get older.)
Good news: No cavities!

I guess life depends on how you look at it. :) Hope you have a "good news" sort of day!

April!

Hooray for April! We sure have enjoyed the warmer weather, longer days, and the spring flowers. At the beginning of the month, my parents came and visited for conference and I got to meet my new cousin, Adelaide Grace. She has big dark eyes and is beautiful!

Then, I had a birthday and worked on a stressful HOA project. For my birthday, Brian gave me the book, Women in the Old Testament, by Camille Fronk. I highly recommend it!

Today we had our stake women's conference, and I am glad it is over! It went well, but it's
always a relief when the big event you are involved in planning is over!

In this last week of April, Brian will go to his LAST grad class and will have no more school work! He graduates during the first week in May, and we are stinkin' (in a non-stinky way) excited!

Some of Camden's newest antics include:
~pushing the shopping cart. He LOVES to hold the rack under the main basket and push the cart all over the store, loaded or not. I do have to steer it, but he pushes all on his own. He also much prefers pushing his stroller to riding in it.

~dancing. He rocks out to most any music, but he likes Ryan Shupe or country music a lot.

~biting my knees. He tries to eat Brian's and my knees. Very strange.

~pulling everything within his reach off the table or counter top. One day he got my brush while I was getting ready and then started brushing his hair! I didn't know he knew to do that.

Anyway, happy April!

Hmm?

First of all, my sweet Camden turned 11 months old today! Only one more month left until he's a true toddler! He is so funny and loves to make us laugh.

Camden's favorite expression--he does this quite frequently

Camden's first science lesson--all about Newton's laws

Happy 11 months!
